Preacher

After his church is destroyed and his congregation is murdered, Jesse gains a supernatural power called Genesis, allowing him to command anyone to do his bidding. Alongside his ex-girlfriend Tulip and the Irish vampire Cassidy, Jesse embarks on a dark, violent, and often hilarious quest across America to find God and hold Him accountable for His creation.
